Abstract: In practical application, facial image recognition is vulnerable to be attacked by photos, videos, etc., while some currently used artificial feature extractors in machine learning, such as activity detection, texture descriptors, and distortion detection, are insufficient due to their weak detection ability in feature extraction from unknown attack. In order to deal with the aforementioned deficiency and improve the network security, this paper proposes directional difference convolution for the deep learning in gradient image information extraction, which analyzes pixel correlation within the convolution domain and calculates pixel gradients through difference calculation. Its combination with traditional convolution can be optimized by a parameter θ . Its stronger ability in gradient extraction improves the learning and predicting ability of the network, whose performance testing on CASIA-MFSD, Replay-Attack, and MSU-MFSD for face anti-spoofing task shows that our method outperforms the current related methods.
